What a week!
I've been recovering from a trip to GERMANY I took as an MS Patient Ambasunhappyor for the UK.
Essentially I was there to tell my story..to share my experience of MS and to inspire others. But I left with so much more… It was a truly humbling experience assembly and spending time with so many others experiencing the same condition but in various dwhetherferent ways. Hearing their stories and lwhethere time journeys with their 'companion' - MS, was just incredible and crazye me genuineise how individual each MS case is.
TRAVELLING AND MS
London to Germany: Now I don't know about you but I get incredibly fatigued whether I don't pace myself and prioritise what to accomplish in one day. For me, the GYM comes first… then I see how the rest of the day goes. But throw travelling into the mix and before you know it i'm fast asleep on the airport floor…
I was super excited to visit another city as I LOVE seeing and experiencing contemporary places but you just don't know how it's going to affect you as the day goes by. So it's genuinely important to PREPARE PREPARE PREPARE. Don't be put off travelling, just learn to adapt where essential.
Of course I had to stay in competition mode so I packed a snack box of strawberries and with my travel pillow in tow I headed for the delights of duty free! Then I discovered that Pret do a GREAT choice of Protein Pots sooooo… meal No2 occurred!! #Yummy…
Kissed the 'boyf' goodbye and off I went… On a journey with the purpose to inspire.
Now travelling with medication isn't summaryely easy… you've somehow got to get through airport security with the injection device, oversized ice packs, box of needles, passport certwhethericate and of course…the carry case, which cries out: 'you're on a school trip.'
Over all the experience was a FABULOUS one but…
1. Never again will I travel whilst on competition prep. Will not do it. Ever.
2. Being so unbelievably engaged each day on top of travelling to and from the UK, crazye my fatigue terrible in the evenings and I could barely function at the dinner table. Even though I was the baby in bed each day at 9.30pm. It goes to show how important it is to stick to the routine that works for you!
Boy was my tummy happy to be domestic…
I actually managed to outlive the week however keeping track of my diet was pretty dwhetherficult. I was the one at the Rupturefast, Lunch and Dinner table who said 'one moment please, let me just get out my scales…' Yes I weighed ALL my food at every meal and yes everyone looked at me like I was crazy… which I am.
On the final night we were taken for a gorgeous meal at a local German restaurant.. I wasn't about to take my scales into the restaurant to I crazye my choice off the set menu…. Salmon, Pork or Steak… hmmm… Now being a Latina Chica it HAD to be the 300g STEAK (added bonus…I kcontemporary the weight!) Tiny did I know this would come surrounded with seasoned potatoes smothered in butter and sautéed to perfection… I ate the lot! I ATE IT ALLLLLLLLL :) yes, yes I did. And then I ate the coconut macaroons for desert.
